About This Item
Berkeley: University of California Press, 2010. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. Feminist historians of science and philosophy have shown that during the Italian Renaissance, the profound shift in the concept of nature--from an organic worldview to the scientific--was assisted by the gender metaphor that defined nature as female. In this provocative and groundbreaking book, Mary D. Garrard extends this analysis to the history of art and proposes that the larger shift was both anticipated and mediated by the visual arts. Still in publisher's shrink wrap. Photographs available on request. All books dispatched same or next working day in robust packaging. Heavy book, increased postage for overseas purchase.
